ANC Training Academy: Service Business Startup Bootcamp
About this Event
ANC Training Academy’s Service Business Startup Bootcamp is a practical four-part course designed to help participants turn a service skill, experience, or business idea into an organized operating business.
This course is designed for people starting or growing service businesses such as janitorial, landscaping, pressure washing, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, mobile detailing, junk removal, lawn care, handyman services, and other service-based businesses.
Participants will work through the major components of building and operating a service company, including:
- Choosing and defining your service
- Identifying your customer
- Business setup and startup planning
- Equipment and startup costs
- Estimating and pricing for profit
- Understanding labor, overhead and margins
- Finding customers
- Sales, estimates and proposals
- Scheduling and work orders
- Invoicing and collections
- Hiring employees and subcontractors
- Training and quality control
- Building recurring revenue
- Adding complementary services
- Creating systems and delegating
- Planning for growth
- Developing a 90-Day Business Launch Plan
You do not need to currently own a business to attend.
The goal is not simply to create a business idea. Participants will learn the practical systems needed to move from an idea or skill toward an operating service business.
One registration includes all four Saturday sessions.
